Circulating Libraries as a Means of
PropaGatIng Ignorance.
lAgnes Repplier in the Atlantic.l
We all know Charles Lambs views on the
subject of early reading as expressed in his
triumphant vindication of Bridget Elias
happily neglected education; stShe was tum-
b1ed by accident or design into a spacious
closet of good old English books, without
much selection or prohibition, and browsed
at will upon that fair and wholesome pastur-
age" Had I twenty girls they should be
brought up exactly in this fashion. 1t is
natural that but few parents are anxious to
risk SO hazardous an experiment, especially
as the training of ''incomparable old maids"
is hardly the recognized summit of maternal
ambition; but Bridget Ella at least no
danger of intellectual starvation, while if we
pursue modern school girl along the tracks
of her self-chosen reading we shall be as
tonished that SO much printed matter can
weld so little mental nourishment. She has
begun no doubt with childish stories-bright
and we'll written probably, but following
each other in such quick succession that
none of them have left any distinct impress
sion on her mind. Books that children read
but once are of scant service to them. Those
that have really helped to warm our imagi-
nations and to train our faculties are the few
old friends we know SO we'll that they hare
become portion of our thinking selves. At
ten or twelve the little girl aspires to some
thing partly grown up-to those nondescript
tales which, trembling ever on the brink of
sentiment, seem afraid to risk the plunge;
and with her appetite whetted by course of
this unsatisfying diet she is soon ripe for a
little more excitement and great deal more
love. SO graduates into Rhoda Broughton and
the Duchess" at which point her intellec-
tual career is closed She has no idea even
of what she has missed in the world of
books. She tells you that she "dont care
for Dickens" and 'can't get interested in
Scott" with placidity that plainly shows
she lays the blame for this state of affairs
the two great masters who have amused and
charmed the world. As for .Northanger Ab-
bey or Emma, she would as soon think of
finding entertainment in Henry Esmund.
She has probably never Rad single master
piece of our language; she has never been
moved by noble poem or stirred to the
quick by we'll told page of history; she has
never opened the pores of her mind for the
reception Of a vigorous thought or the solu-
ton of a mental problem, yet she may be
found daily in the circulating library, and is
seldom visible on the street without a book
or two under her arm

Bites of RabId Amin ais.

old enough to have history to love and to
give its people pride in its name.

A resolution to submit a prohibitory
amendment to the popular vote will proba-
bly, be passed by the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture this winter, in accordance with the dec
laration of the Republican platform. Governor
Pattison said in his message: The demand
for reform in the laws governing the sale
of liquor is SO widespread and emphatic that
the legislature would cease to be body rep
resentative of the will of the people if it
should fail to respond to the call made upon
it for a remedy. This call, it is also to be
observed, proceeds from those who love
order, who respect law, who desire to see
vice restrained and virtue promoted-from
the heads of families, the educators of youth,
and the teachers of morals-from the officers
of the law, from the ministers of justice, and
from the public press. Indeed, it is the de-
mand of organized society for protection
from its most dangerous, widespread, and
remorseiess enemy

Racing Roeaeries.
[From Chambers Journal.

About half century ago, at Newmarket,
several horses who stood high in the betting
at different times suddenly went off sick just
before the race for which they were entered; !;
some died, others recovered, but all were dis
abled for the time being, and favorites that a
few hours previously outstripped every rival
would come struggling yards behind the
field Everyone knew they had been 'tnob-
bled, but for long time the perpetrator re-
mained undiscovered; at last, however, a no.
torious scoundrel, one Dan Dawson, was
caught red-handed poisoning the troughs.
During the trial it came out that he had

remedy in hydrophobia. and he therefore
made up his mind to give it trial. Cam
tharides plasters were applied to all the
wounds, and powdered cantharides was ad-
ministered to each of the three patients in
doses of a grain day. The internal ad-
ministration was continued for week, till
the patients complained of some heat in the
uretha. Seven months having passed, and
all the patients being still perfectly healthy,
the author thinks the cases worth recording,
though he is quite aware that post hoe is not
necessary in this instance propter hoe.

to give in its youth eighty thousand men to
help subdue treason and rebellion. In
schools it ranks now with the first of the civ
ilized governments among men, and has the
lowest rates of illiteracy of any nation, gov
ernment, or province in the world. In rail-
way building it has come to be sixth. In the
elements of moral as we'll as intellectual
worth it has won rank which makes it peer
with any in the Union. It was the first State
in the Union to enfranchise the negro and
one of the first three to banish, or at least
outlaw, the saloons. 1t has made a noble
